About this product

Nandina domestica ‘Gulf Stream’ (Heavenly Bamboo)

Bring long-lasting colour and texture to your garden with Nandina domestica ‘Gulf Stream’, a compact evergreen shrub valued for its ever-changing foliage. In spring and summer, the finely divided leaves are a fresh green, flushed with bronze tones. As the seasons shift, the foliage turns fiery shades of red, orange, and gold, providing brilliant autumn and winter interest. Its naturally neat, rounded habit makes it an excellent choice for borders, pots, or as low hedging.

Unlike true bamboo, ‘Gulf Stream’ is slow-growing and easy to manage, requiring very little maintenance. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. A versatile plant that looks good year-round, it pairs beautifully with other shrubs, perennials, or as a feature in smaller gardens.

• Best Placement: Perfect for borders, containers, or low hedging.
